BADLY PAID MINISTERS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA
PROPOSAL TO RAISE FUNDS STATEMENT THAT CAUSED A SENSATION. By Telegraph.— Presa Association.-- Copyright. (Received September 20, 10.20 a.m.) » ADELAIDE, This Day. The Baptist Union discussed a proposal to raise £5000 in connection with the jubilee of the union in 1913, the money to be used to provide stipends for accredited ministers temporarily without pastorates, in recognition of long and faithful service. A member wished for an amendment making the money available for missions. Several speakers protested against the money being devoted to missions while pastors were so poorly paid. The Rev. A. H. Collins offered to give three names of men who have been working for over thirty years, and are now receiving thirty shillings weekly. The statement created a sensation. The motion was agreed to in its original form; also a motion appointing a special committee to consider the advisability of fixing the minimum stipend at £250.
